fixed unhandled Python errors during comparison attempts

fixes pythonnet#1848

Additionally, fixes a type hint and makes sure that the new default
behaviour is to use the environment variable if given.

Allows the project to be referenced in other .NET projects without
adjusting its project file (pythonnet#1853).

There are small typos in:
- pythonnet/__init__.py
- tests/test_import.py

Fixes:
- Should read `splitted` rather than `splited`.
- Should read `loaded` rather than `laoded`.

Allow decoders to decode Python types derived from primitives

BigInteger constructor uses the sign bit in the first byte. Since we explicitly handle the sign, the fix is to prepend a zero byte to the number, which does not change it, but ensures sign bit is zero.
